Adidas Originals

Superstar 80s Shoes

Like it says in my little "Bits and Pieces", I love a nice pair of Adidas and these are no exception. I love these!!! I love the thin tongue, the perforated upper. I think that having studs instead of eyelets are super nice. The holes for the laces are hidden on the underside of the studs. Full grain leather and an updated look to the  classic shell-toe sets this one off right for me. Wheww, they're priced at $120.00 but, you could argue that the quality is worth it. 

Gotta love em'.

Sometimes I just feel like posting something mellow. By all means, please enjoy what you hear.

Music Is... Natasha Ramos "Dysfunctional" OFFICIAL VIDEO

My cousin told me about this video today. Most of us, well those who know, knew that Natasha Ramos was an songstress with the Neptunes for a while. From what I know, and I could be wrong, she is no longer with the camp. Decided to venture out on her own I suppose. I like that. Any who, this song "Dysfunctional" is from her recent mixtape release "Feeling Myself". My cousin didn't care for it too much, but I on the other hand think it's pretty good. Check out the video below.

Video: G-Shock Commercial featuring Nigel Sylvester – “What I Always Dreamt Of”

I don't think I've let it be known on this platform that BMX is a favorite of mine. I'll have to do that soon. In the mean time, check out this video featuring a very talented Nigel Sylvester. The skill is incredible.

Music Is... Calvin Harris "Bounce" (feat. Kelis)

Typically these beat formats aren't my type but, I like this one a bit. I like it for the get me hype for the moment factor it imparts, so I gotta give it thumbs up for that. Plus, the way the intro is reminiscent of some type of sci-fi video game theme music keeps my pretty interested. Produced by Calvin Harris, sang by Kelis. Released ca. May-April.

*I don't hate this too much right now :)

Music Is... Turning Tables (Adele Cover)

A song cover I found a day or so ago. Love it. His name is Drew Chambers and he has a fantastic voice. He's singing "Turning Tables" by Adele from her album "21". A great talent right here.

Listen and enjoy.

Music Is... A Tribe Called Quest: Midnight Marauders - Award Tour

I haven't listened to the entire album yet, but I hope to soon enough. "Award Tour" is a rock solid track. I downloaded the mp3 form Amazon today, and I just vibed out completely. Lyrically and sonically it all gels. Simply put, hiphop at one of its finest points.
